7 Banknotes, Theresienstadt Ghetto, 1943
These banknotes were printed by the bank of the Ghetto. Their nominal value is 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 Krona. An illustration of Moses holding the Tablets of stone is printed on the banknotes. The banknotes are signed by Ya'akov Edelstein, the head of the Council of Elders of the Ghetto at the time. As part of the Germans' aim to present Theresienstadt Ghetto as a regular civil city, a fictive bank was established on 1.1.1943 named "The Bank of the Jewish Self-Administration" (Bank der Juedischen Selbst-Verwaltung). The money was issued and deposited in fictive accounts of the Theresienstadt Jews; actually, the money could not be withdrawn from the accounts.
Condition: Very Good.
